Gymnastics/Parkour/Flips & Tricks is a complex sport, a student needs time to progress. Our year long plan is to build our student's strength and skills through continuity.
Current students in the gymnastics programme can secure their spot on the next season as long as they meet all sign up requirements:
a) Sign up for the same day
b) Places gymnastics as option 1
c) Fees are settled as soon as allocation and payment link are received
If one of the requirements are not met, there is a potential of losing their spot and another student will be allocated in replacement.
